1.3. pH VALUE MUST BE IN THE RANGE 6.5 TO 8.5 EXCEPT WHERE, AND TO
THE EXTENT THAT, THE NATURAL RECEIVING WATERS LIE OUTSIDE THIS

2.2. RELEASING A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS
MEASURES SHALL OCCUR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING TABLE:

SUPERINTENDENT.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A SITE-SPECIFIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
TURBIDITY AND SUSPENDED SOLIDS IS DETERMINED FOR EACH SEDIMENT BASIN.
ONCE A CORRELATION BETWEEN SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND TURBIDITY HAS BEEN NOTES
ESTABLISHED FOR A SEDIMENT BASIN, TESTING STORMWATER FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH RELEASE LIMITS, PRIOR TO RELEASE, CAN BE DONE ON SITE WITH A 1. CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE FINAL ESC DESIGN TO SUIT
TURBIDITY TUBE OR CALIBRATED TURBIDITY METER. THIS HAS THE ADVANTAGE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
OF PROVIDING IMMEDIATE ASSESSMENT TO JUSTIFY A RELEASE RATHER THAN 2. ALL DISTURBED SURFACES TO BE LANDSCAPED IN
WAITING FOR LABORATORY RESULTS TO CONFIRM CONCENTRATION LEVELS ACCORDANCE WITH LANDSCAPE CONSULTANTS DRAWINGS
AND COMPLIANCE. NOTE THAT POST-RELEASE TSS VALIDATION IS 3. CONCRETE WASHOUT TO NOT BE UNDERTAKEN ON SITE, OR
APPROPRIATE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE NTU/TSS CORRELATION IS BEING TO BE UNDERTAKEN ON A DESIGNATED LOCATION.
MAINTAINED. CONTRACTOR TO ESTABLISH CONCRETE WASHOUT AS PER
IECA GUIDELINES.
SEDIMENT CONTROL
1. ALL SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL MEASURES TO BE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH INTERNATIONAL EROSION CONTROL ASSOCIATION (IECA) AUSTRALIA
GUIDELINES AND THE SPECIFICATIONS.
2. SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL DETAILS SHOWN ARE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS. IT IS THE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBILITY TO INSTALL
ADDITIONAL CONTROL MEASURES AS DEEMED NECESSARY THROUGHOUT
CONSTRUCTION.
3. THE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN ALL SEDIMENT CONTROL
DEVICES IN A FUNCTIONAL ORDER AND REPLACE ALL BLOCKED SEDIMENT

OBTAINED FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE LOCATION OF THE SITE
ACCESS POINT AND WASH DOWN AREA WHICH ARE TO BE MAINTAINED
THROUGHOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
8. IF SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL DEVICES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE
DIFFERENT OR FAILED IN SERVICE, CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TO BE SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL:
UNDERTAKEN IMMEDIATELY WHICH MAY INCLUDE AMENDMENTS' ADDITIONS CONTRACTOR TO ALLOW FOR PROVISION OF ALL
TO THE ORIGINAL APPROVED EROSION CONTROL PLANS. SUCH REQUIRED SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
AMENDMENTS ARE TO BE APPROVED BY SUPERINTENDENT, IF DEEMED DEVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH IECA AND NOOSA
NECESSARY AND RELEVANT. COUNCIL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

a. TEMPORARY DRAINAGE CONTROL FLOWS SHOULD BE DIVERTED
AROUND THE WORK SITE WHERE POSSIBLE.
b. ALL DRAINAGE, EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS TO BE INSTALLED
AND BE OPERATIONAL BEFORE COMMENCING UP-SLOPE EARTHWORKS.
c. IN AREAS WHERE RUNOFF TURBIDITY IS TO BE CONTROLLED, EXPOSED
SURFACES TO BE EITHER MULCHED, COVERED WITH EROSION CONTROL
